The service was great and well within my budget. I had my breaks done and the gentlemen that were working were very friendly and explained everything to me. They even showed me the underside of my car so I would understand what needed to be fixed. Will continue going here for all my auto repairs. Absolutely great service.

Took my fathers Saturn in there to get an estimate. It was a fair assessment and I had the repair done. Honesty is important when it comes to auto repair. This is a place you can trust to have the work done right and for a reasonable price.

Yoo. Let me tell you about the wonderful Men that work here. My entire muffler broke off in 3 places and was draggin on the ground. I called them i was told to bring it up there and they could fix it same day. Everyone else needed my car for 2 to 3 days and order parts. 2 hours later i was back on the road. Great place Excellent service. I reccomend this place Highly.

They gave me an estimate, obtained parts, and installed two mufflers in a short time, with a parts and labor warranty.

After leaving the Hospital, i had a small repair that needed to be made. Tonya and John took very good care of me. Thank you Mike (owner) for selecting these people that showed compassion and was so very kind. I will ALWAYS take my business to Cottage muffler. As i always have, thank you all! God bless you!

When I first started going to this auto shop it was great. He had great prices and things were getting done on my car but after awhile I noticed that they would look over what needed to be fixed. Ive spent too much money here on getting my wheels done and they still missed things and I dont know if that was a ploy just to get me back in the shop or if they really missed it but I shouldnt have to go to a tire shop just for them to tell me something was wrong. I am currently at another shop getting something fixed that cottage looked at, said that it wasnt that bad, and my new shop told me right away what I needed fixed. I dont see how the mechanics and owner missed it when its right in front of their faces. This has happened twice and the second time was the last time. Another thing that happened was the owner told me one price for a sensor and once he actually got the pricing he didnt tell me until it was time to pay and when I said something to him about it he says it was only about a nickel. Excuse me but $35 is far from $67. Its not that far but its the principle. I had a great time going there in the beginning but I wont be going anymore. Im not a mechanic so I dont know what needs done. I trust you to look at my car take care of it. Like I said I spent too much money here just for things on my car to be overlooked to get me back in the shop. Ill be taking my business elsewhere.

Went up there to have them look at my 08 Grand Prix. They werent even opened, I looked at the hours on the door 8:30am to 5pm, let me remind you I went there 9:50 way after 8:30 and they were not open the door were locked everything. Not a good sign, i wouldnt feel comfortable taking my car to somewhere that doesnt open when advertised that says a lot about the company on top of it being a hole in the wall dump.

Took my car in there for some repair work on the front end earlier this year. They did give me a good deal on the work. After getting the car back. I noticed the brakes were not working right where as prior to taking it in the shop they were fine. I mentioned it to him & he said they the holes were stripped on the calipers. I fixed that on my own. Then.I noticed after driving it for 3 months my tires started wearing on the outside edges. I called them and I spoke with Mike. He refused to accept any blame & said he told me that that I had needed more front end work at the time I picked the car up. He never said nothing about more front end work because the inner & outer tie rod end on both sides had been replaced along with both wheel bearings. I wasnt asking for anything free. But I did have to replace brake calipers that they screwed up. He then hung up on me. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Shoddy work & poor attitudes towards mistakes made by them after you pay them.

Review №26

My fiancee went there a few years back to have the flex pipe between the catalytic converter and manifold flange replaced. Brand new parts with labour would have cost her well over $500, but wait for it! They said they could find her a used part and ONLY charge $450. I bring this up now because today, she went in to another local muffler shop just to have a hanger re-attached, and it turned out the flexpipe Cottage installed was about to fall apart. Also, this said shop quoted her $200 less for the same work with brand new parts. It just strikes me as odd that they last approximately 10 years on a newly purchased car, but a dodgy muffler shop cant even install one that lasts for 3 . . . . . . . . especially after youve paid almost $500 for the work. I wouldnt even recommend this place to a homeless wino that only wants to get their shopping cart fixed.
